I've seen many people raising wives, but this is the first time I've seen someone raising

Chapter 20 You can always trust the purple fat man

[Ibrahimovic's departure seems to be just a minor episode and has not caused much impact... at least that's true for now. ]

[As for the only victim, it seems to be poor Gengar. 】

In the courtyard

"Scared!"

The purple fat man had an extremely distorted expression and waved his short hands in protest to Xia Mu.

There were three people in a team, but in the end it was the only one that participated in the mission. That's discrimination, right?

It’s fine that Gardevoir can’t participate, but why can’t Eevee participate either?

Looking at the indignant Gengar, Xia Mu said nothing, but just showed his fist full of telekinesis, and the former instantly turned back into the harmless purple fat man.

But Xia Mu is not a devil.

After seeing Gengar calm down, he reached out and rubbed his original Pokémon.

Compared to the physical Gardevoir and Eevee, Gengar feels more like marshmallow, but with a slightly more bouncy feel and is very comfortable to touch.

"Garvedo and Eevee both have their own reasons, so... I'll have to ask you to protect my safety this time, Gengar."

Xia Mu said in a gentle voice.

Hearing this, a rare look of embarrassment appeared on Gengar's face, and he waved his hand awkwardly and proudly.

"Scared~"

It suspected that Xia Mu was controlling itself, but it was willing!

You can always trust the purple fat man.

[At noon, despite your tough attitude, Gardevoir still got up reluctantly. ]

[Since the gathering is at night, you still set aside some time during the day to train Gardevoir and Gengar. ]

[This makes the resentment of both Pokémon quite strong. ]

"Gardevoir, can the accuracy and time of teleportation be shortened a little bit?"

Looking at the stopwatch in his hand, Xia Mu asked.

Hearing this, Gardevoir couldn't help showing a distressed expression, and said slowly:

"As for the activation time... it should be able to be shortened a bit."

"But... for a skill like teleportation, there shouldn't be a need for too strict a precision, right?"

Gardevoir was a little confused about Xia Mu's request.

In her opinion, it is normal to have an error of about one meter from the target location after each teleportation, and it will not affect the experience at all in actual use.

There's absolutely no need to be too harsh.

However, Xia Mu did not agree with her opinion. Instead, he pinched her cheek and taught her a lesson:

"In a real fight, a distance of one meter can sometimes be a decisive factor."

"It even affects the direction of the entire battle. If you don't train seriously, you'll regret it later."

"Um... I understand." Having her cheeks grabbed, Gardevoir said vaguely.

It was not until Xia Mu let her go that she covered her face with an expression of dissatisfaction.

Xia Mu felt helpless about this.

Since Gardevoir followed him, it has lost battles very few times because its super powers can be kept full at all times.

This resulted in the other party's inadequate handling of many details, which even became an obstacle to her improvement in strength.

However, Xia Mu knew that solving these problems would not happen overnight.

After realizing that it was almost evening, he waved to Gardevoir.

"Training is over, now go to the rally."

Because she had just finished training, there was still a layer of wet heat floating on Gardevoir's body, which gave her a unique charm.

This made Xia Mu even more looking forward to seeing the other person wearing a kimono.

On the other side, Gardevoir's eyes lit up slightly after hearing this.

"it is good!"

A moment later, Xia Mu, Gardevoir, Blue and Silver went out together.

"You two should go and play too, but remember not to run too far." After reaching the street, Xia Mu said to the two little ones following behind him.

He finally took Gardevoir out for a stroll, so of course he couldn't bring two light bulbs with him.

"it is good--"

Xiaolan and Xiaoyin also had no objection to this.

After being stuck in the Masked Legion’s base for several years, they now find everything new to them.

So even without Xia Mu's order, they might not be able to suppress their restless hearts.

After sending the two away, Xia Mu turned his gaze back to Gardevoir.

At this time, the other party had already changed into a kimono.

The outfit chosen by Gardevoir uses purple as the base color, with the distinctive Butterfree pattern printed on the clothes, and the cuffs and collar are embroidered with light gold thread as embellishment.

The length of the kimono just covers Gardevoir's small feet, and she usually has the habit of using her super powers to support her body when walking.

So even though it has not received any special training, Gardevoir's walking posture has a unique sense of lightness, like a dancing butterfly.

Seeing Xia Mu looking at herself, Gardevoir did not ask questions like "Does it look good?"

Because the other person's dazed expression had told her everything.

"Xia Mu, I want to eat Frosty Milk Ice Cream."

Halfway through the walk, Gardevoir hugged Xia Mu's arm, pointed to a shop nearby and said.

As if hearing Gardevoir's voice, Frostmilk on the shop counter jumped towards the two of them.

Xia Mu couldn't help but feel curious.

It's not uncommon to use Pokémon's body parts as food.

The onions of Farfetch'd and the tail of Slowpoke are very popular ingredients, but it is rare to find something that can be eaten directly like Frosty the Frog.

With Gardevoir's eager expression, Xia Mu went into the store and bought two.

"Don't eat too fast, it's cold." Xia Mu reminded while handing it to Gardevoir.

"Nai~"

Gardevoir nodded obediently, stretched out her pink tongue and licked it bit by bit, with a happy expression on her face.

Compared to Gardevoir's elegant way of eating, Gengar released by Xia Mu didn't care about that. He opened his mouth wide and ate it up along with the packaging.

"Scared!"

Xia Mu's eyes twitched when he saw the way he ate while having a toothache.

At this moment, Gardevoir, who was standing beside him, suddenly patted him on the shoulder.

"Xia Mu, wait for me, I'll go over there and take a look."

As he spoke, Gardevoir pointed in another direction of the street.

Although Xia Mu was confused, he agreed after making sure there was no danger around.

After getting permission, Gardevoir pulled her kimono up a little, squeezed her body and hurried towards her destination.

Just now, she suddenly felt a very special energy attracting her.

It's not a superpower, but a kind of life-like energy, somewhat similar to the feeling she got from the last time she met Ho-Oh.

While thinking, Gardevoir entered a relatively open area.

The energy that attracted her came from a shop directly opposite her.

"Liu Bo Ice Sculpture Shop?" Seeing the name of the shop, Gardevoir tilted her head and frowned slightly.

Now, whenever she sees the word ice sculpture, she always feels uncomfortable.

"Girl, do you want to go into the store and take a look?"

At this time, a white-haired old man sitting in a wheelchair slowly slid out of the shop, looked at her and said happily.

Considering the strange energy that attracted her, Gardevoir hesitated for two seconds and finally nodded.

"Ah."

Chapter 21: A gift for you~

Liu Bo has been in a bad mood recently because of his recent operation to capture Ho-Oh.

In fact, this is not the first time he has captured Ho-Oh.

He had successfully captured Ho-Oh before, and although the other party escaped in the end, he was already familiar with this kind of thing.

It can be said that as long as Liu Bo can find the Phoenix King, he will be able to subdue him.

There would have been no accidents this time. Since Lugia had been forcibly subdued, Ho-Oh could not cause the slightest disturbance in front of him.

But...the accident happened after all.

When the battle was getting intense, a person with super powers suddenly appeared on the battlefield.

Not only did the other party use despicable means to cause him to fall from a high altitude, but he also looted all the feathers he had worked so hard to pluck from the Phoenix King.

Although Liu Bo didn't care much about a few feathers, he could not accept letting the already exhausted Ho-Oh escape, as it affected his plan to capture Celebi.

Unfortunately...the two main Pokémon under his command were thrown and lost their combat effectiveness.

The remaining Lugia was unable to hold the opponent back after its sneak attack failed.

This made Liu Bo feel unprecedented humiliation.

Fortunately, through the powerful information network of the Masked Legion, he finally locked down the other party's identity.

And using a little trick, he successfully tricked the different-colored Gardevoir next to the opponent.

“Did you see any ice sculptures you liked?”

Seeing Gardevoir frowning and repeatedly moving in front of the ice sculptures, Liu Bo asked with a smile.

With his amiable appearance, he undoubtedly looks like a kind-hearted old man to outsiders.

But in those slightly narrowed eyes, there was a flame called "anger" burning.

If it weren't for the fact that they were in a busy city, Liu Bo would have already taken action. He would not allow anyone to hinder his ability to capture Celebi.

Hearing this, Gardevoir, who hadn't noticed anything wrong, frowned even deeper.

She could feel that the object that attracted her was nearby.

But... after walking around the ice sculpture, she still couldn't find it, so much so that she even wondered if it was her illusion.

"Old man, do you have any other ice sculptures here?" After searching in vain, Gardevoir asked helplessly.

Hearing the question, a gleam of light flashed across Liu Bo's eyes, and then he pretended to be embarrassed and said:

"Yes, but... that set can only be sold in pairs."

"Can I take a look?" When Gardevoir heard that there were other ice sculptures, her eyes lit up.

Her intuition told her that this was what she wanted.

Seeing the fish taken the bait, Uncle Liu curled up the corners of his mouth slightly and immediately took out a box from the counter.

When the box was opened, it contained two ice crystal bracelets of the same shape but slightly different patterns, and a hint of coldness came over me.

"This is our store's most precious treasure. It is said to be made from Reggie's body parts, so it won't melt even in the hot summer."
